Description
The effect of zoning on algal, soft coral and hard coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef. The bar charts shows the median density and biomass (± 95% uncertainty intervals), while the inset effects (caterpillar) plot shows the median differences (± 95% uncertainty intervals) between No-take Marine Reserves (NTMRs) (green bars) and fished reefs (blue bars). Medians and 95% uncertainty intervals are derived from a Bayesian Hierarchical general linear mixed model and statistical significance is inferred from the effects plot where 95% UIs do not intersect zero.
